Forthcoming Publication on High-Performance Distributed State Machine Implementation
Brandon “Cryptskii” Ramsay
Dear NIST Colleagues,
I am writing to announce the forthcoming publication of my research paper detailing a novel distributed state machine implementation that incorporates post-quantum cryptographic primitives (SPHINCS+, ML-KEM) with the Blake3 hashing algorithm. The paper will be available on ePrint within the next few days.
This implementation appears to challenge fundamental assumptions inherent in Brewer's CAP theorem through a reconceptualization of decentralized identity, authentication, digital ownership, and scarcity within distributed systems architecture. The empirical results suggest a potential paradigm shift in our understanding of the theoretical constraints governing distributed computational models.
The implementation demonstrates exceptional performance characteristics across multiple operational dimensions, significantly surpassing current state-of-the-art distributed ledger technologies. Key performance metrics are summarized in the table below:

7.2 µs / 9.1 µs
SPHINCS+ Signature/Verify

These benchmarks were achieved on a MacBook M1 Pro and represent a significant advancement in the field. The implementation has progressed to near-beta readiness, with production deployment capabilities forthcoming. The complete theoretical framework and implementation details will be thoroughly documented in the forthcoming paper.
Having reached this milestone in architectural development, I am now seeking collaborative partnerships with domain specialists, particularly those with expertise in quantum cryptography and formal verification methodologies. I intend to publish the complete codebase on GitHub concurrent with the paper's release, and would welcome both pre-publication discussions and post-publication contributions from interested parties.
For any inquiries regarding this research prior to publication, I can be reached at in...@decentralizedstatemachine.com.
Sincerely,

PQC knows no boundaries in this architecture. Github live this week. just tidying up.
